back to your cold bachelor's flat.

I've never seen your place, but

I can imagine what it looks like.

If you were married, it wouldn't

be cold. There'd be a woman waiting.

Always the same woman? -Alas!

You'll see for yourself.

So long. -So long. 4 o'clock.

RADIO PROGRAMME:

I was afraid you wouldn't come.

- We set a date. That means something.

Of course. Look at this weather.

You want to get away.

Anywhere, far away.

Even the birds are getting away.

I heard them last night,

couldn't get to sleep.

Those were quails. -So!

I thought that were storks.

All I know about them is they

migrate. Because they carry children.

No, storks migrate in daytime,

and quails only in nighttime.

These are starlings. They fly in

large flocks. Swallows too.

Cuckoos fly on their own.

Really? That means cuckoos

aren't chickens after all.

My wife, if you recognize her.

She cleaned all day, did her

hair, all in honor of your visit.

See, she even made me... -I see!

- He's rude. Fedja, you're so rude!

But Fedja!

Maybe our guest

wanted to rest a little.

Thank you, Madam,

not at all. Not at all.

Don't be cross with him,

he can't start a conversation.

That's why nobody ever visits.

I see why I didn't touch the pieces

for so long, and I kept asking:

"Come see us. We'll grab a bite,

my wife will make us coffee".

It's you! It's because of you

nobody ever came! -Me? -You!

You heard that? Tell me

please, who's antisocial here?

Sorry, but before you make me

a part of your romantic arguments,

you have to tell me about...

the rules of the game.

I'm cross with you again! You don't

see that love is not like chess.

There are no textbooks. You need

to look at faces. Everything's there:

love, happiness,

hate, sadness, secrets.

Yes...

I'm off, things to do.

You said something, love?

Take the move back. -No, Fedja.

- No point... -Don't make a habit of it.

Take the move back.

- There's no point... -Fedja!

Wait! The game is what we

enjoy, not the victory. Please.

Please. -Alright.

Shall we call it a day?

Yes. Please, don't

make me stay for dinner.

Come on. Have fun with these!

We must have him alive!

So, what's the score?

I lost all the games.

You know, Neda, if you start

to play now against my will,

that could qualify as premeditated

crime. Still, I'm asking you

to commit that crime. I really want

to hear Mozart's rondeau in A minor.

Then I'll allow Fedja to whistle.

Thank you very much! Where's my

coat? -Where are you going? Fedja!

Fedja, he's getting away! Wait!

Alright, I'll stay.

You shouldn't have. Really.

It must've been hard to find.

You took me seriously when

I said you should buy the record.

That means I must
